Great shots!

Bad news, though - that's not a Prokletije rock lizard but a common wall lizard.

[Andre Schmid]

Beautiful photos of awesome landscapes! Thanks for sharing

I wasn´t sure at all, thanks for correction. I though muralis is not present in Prokletije at all. Photo was taken in the end of Grbaja valley below Karanfili massif.

great shots of great landscapes!
btw., Anguis is of female gender, so colchica - but no colchica in all the areas you visited. must be A. fragilis

[Bobby Bok]

Fantastic images as always Tomas, well done!

[Martti Niskanen]

Thank you guys and sorry for bad IDs.

I also saw your photos on Flickr. We left CZ July 23 and spent couple of days in Slovenia, I think we were in Prokletije from July 27 to August 2...

Cheers!
